And after a glorious day it's another chilly one in places tonight | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
First to that walkout in Derrylin in County Fermanagh. | :01:15. | :01:26. | |
A company working at a windfarm which was once part of Sean Quinn's | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
business empire has moved off site after receiving threats. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
The firm's managing director has told BBC Newsline | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
he was not prepared to put his workers in danger. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
There has been a long series of sabotage and vandalism | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
on businesses which were once owned by Mr Quinn. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Here's our south west reporter Julian Fowler. | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
And the road, away from Derryiln. The company uses a threat if they | :02:01. | :02:16. | |
were not removed. The company that brought equipment to the side to | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
carry out maintenance, and managing told the BBC he was not prepared to | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
put his workers in danger. Security has been stepped up at the wind | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
farm, once part of Sean Quinn's business empire, following threat to | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
workers. Part of the dispute is over right of access to the site. But | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
there's also a power struggle taking place with Sean Quinn seeking to | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
take control with the businesses once again. Yesterday a sign was | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
erected threatening executives who now run one part of the former Quinn | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
group. The police said it was a deplorable acts of intimidation | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
against members of the local business community. The on both | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
sides of the border are investigating the incident, part of | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
a long series of sabotage and vandalism on businesses once owned | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
by Sean Quinn. Two years ago a construction company pulled out | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
plans to bicycling roof tiles after a series of attacks and the chairman | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
receiving death threats on the day his wife died. In the last few weeks | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Sean Quinn has said he and his family continue to condemn all | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
negative activity in the area at the signs supporting him remain. These | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
latest threats have added to the climate of fear that exists here. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Whilst people are reluctant to speak out there are concerns about the | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
long-term impact on jobs and investment. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
More than 200,000 people here are suffering mental health | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
But yet only 18,000 of them have come forward to get help. | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
The figure was revealed today by the Victims Commissioner | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
She told MPs that an estimated 500,000 people have been | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
The vast majority of them she said are suffering in silence. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Our Political Correspondent Enda McClafferty has been hearing | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
from two victims from Londonderry who are struggling to deal | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
They may have led separate lives but they have travelled along the same | :04:14. | :04:25. | |
traumatic past. Marie and Sharon are both victims of the troubles and | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
have now become firm friends after telling their stories in the book. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Marie's husband was shot dead by a loyalist gunmen in 1976 as he worked | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
in a bar in Eglinton. They had seven children. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
I remember the night he was shot, they were screaming, we were losing | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
ourselves, I thought, God, please tell me. | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
Sharon was 11 when her 18-year-old brother, Winston, was murdered by | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
the IRA in 1974, along with his friend, Joseph Slater. They were | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
tortured for their bodies were dumped on a border road. More than | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
40 years later Sharon's mother still holds onto the clothes her son was | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
wearing that day. She has had them in her wardrobe for | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
42 years. She brings them out, she asked, can you smell it? We tell her | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
we can. Sharon says they have all suffered | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
mental health problems and just cannot move on. | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
We are living our past every day, it is a nightmare. I have said it | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
before, the person who is in short, murdered, abducted, they are dead. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
What about the living? Because it is like living a nightmare. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
But Sharon and Marie are by no means alone. The victims commissioner | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
estimates 500,000 people have been affected by the troubles. 40,000 | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
injured. 3720 families bereaved. But at least 200,000 people still suffer | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
the mental trauma of what they experienced. And yet only 18,000 of | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
those have sought help. We know that young people growing up | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
in those communities most impacted, and those families most impact, are | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
showing the highest levels of suicide, self harm, and mental | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
health problems, anywhere in the UK, and parts of Europe. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
The victims Commissioner says time is running out for politicians to | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
reach agreement on how to deal with the past. It will be back on the | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
agenda after the election. As yet there is no indication as to how our | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
politicians plan to break the current deadlock. Until then, | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
victims might Marie and Sharon will have to find their own way to deal | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
with the past. The Secretary of State has described | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
the widow of the murder victim Michael McGibbon | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
as "incredibly brave". In the House of Commons Teresa | :07:06. | :07:06. | |
Villiers said the circumstances of the father of four's killing | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
were "deeply tragic Last night at a vigil in Ardoyne | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
in north Belfast Joanne McGibbon thanked the community | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
for their support following Community of North Belfast and | :07:19. | :07:33. | |
beyond gathered in their hundreds to show their support for a widow and | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
four children left without a father. Heartbroken Joanne thanked them all. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
I think the strength of the community will overtake anything | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
that anyone who wants to destroy it has to do. I think if we all stay | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
strong we can stop these people, because we are stronger than them, | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
and they cannot beat us. It is not fair that the family should have to | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
go through this, they are not judge and jury. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
She told the community to unite against those who murdered her | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
husband. We need to stay strong, stick | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
together, fight for what is yours. You are all lovely people. Nobody | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
deserves that. They cannot beat you, we will have to beat them. | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
Michael McGibbon, dead in his wife's arms after being shot three times in | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
the legs on Friday night. Speaking in the House of Commons, the | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
Secretary of State paid tribute to Joanne and condemned the murder. | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
I believe that Michael McGibbon's widow is an incredibly brave woman. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
The circumstances of his death are deeply tragic, heartbreaking, and I | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
know that the whole house will feel for his whole family at this time. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
It is utterly unacceptable that in modern Northern Ireland there are | :08:55. | :08:55. | |
still people who modern Northern Ireland there are | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
take the law into their own hands and administer this environment, | :09:01. | :09:01. | |
brutal treatment. The funeral takes face of Holycross | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
Church tomorrow. -- takes place at. In just over two weeks time | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
Northern Ireland goes to the polls Among the voters for the first time | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
will be people who were born after They're the subject of a special | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
programme on BBC One this evening. It's being hosted by BBC | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Newsline's Tara Mills They're getting ready for the show | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
at the BBC's Blackstaff studios. Thank you, the finishing touches are | :09:26. | :09:37. | |
being put to the set for this really unique opportunity for about 200 | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
young people from right across Northern Ireland to have an | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
opportunity to drill the politicians. What do you think, or | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
you expecting? I'm expecting the studio to be | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
electric. We will let the young people at the politicians because | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
that is what it is about. Let's get a flavour of how we got | :09:59. | :09:59. | |
here. That is just a taste of a really | :10:00. | :10:47. | |
interesting film. It is worth tuning in to see it tonight. There's also | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
worth tuning in to see what it is that makes young people tick. | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Big-time. I think we know some of these subjects that will come out | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
this evening. But we're going to learn stuff from a generation that | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
this coming through a discount to punch quite hard. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
And maybe for the politicians as well to have a look and see what | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
issues they might need to think about. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
I cannot wait for it. I have been to Belfast to talk to | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
students about what they want to see. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
As the election looms these students have a decision to make, not just | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
who to vote for but if they should vote at all. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
So many people have fought for the right to vote I think it is a waste | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
to not. Most in the class feel it is | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
significant that they were born in the year the agreement was signed. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
It is a lot better than the alternative. | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
It is better than direct rule, but there's still work to do. | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
I am pro-Good Friday agreement. I have friends who say it is useless | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
and has not done anything, it can be improved, yes, but it is so | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
important to live in relative peace. What policies will win their | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
support? Tuition fees. People from | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
working-class backgrounds cannot afford all the fees we have to pay | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
and they need extra help and I don't feel they get it. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
They need to focus more on policies rather than reducing it to | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
nationalist. There has to be more about education, welfare. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Women's rights. A lot of social issues affect us | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
nowadays. More people openly talk about mental illness or sexuality. | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
So we social issues are the ones that are becoming more and more | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
important and relevant. Only half the electorate voted in | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
last year's general election with the majority outside the 18-30 age | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
range. The debate tonight is a unique opportunity to challenge | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
politicians and ask exactly what they intend to deliver. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
That will be interesting. It has been quite a challenge to figure out | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
what subject areas, but they have chosen. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Big-time. If thinking discussed tonight, this audience will have | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
driven the discussion. This is not a programme just for young people to | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
watch. We are going to watch this and we are hearing fresh voices. | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Absolutely. We will be across social media as well. These get in touch. | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
We will also be on Facebook and on snap chat. | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
South Belfast residents voiced their anger over car parking by city | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
centre commuters. The number of people claiming | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
unemployment benefits has risen for two months in a row, | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
new official figures have shown. That's the first time that's | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
happened since the end of 2012. Our Economics and Business Editor | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
John Campbell is here. What do the figures tell you? | :13:59. | :14:12. | |
That the number of claimants rose by 200 last month, on top of a rise of | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
200 in February. The first consecutive rise in over three | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
years. Which suggest the big recovery we have seen in the job | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
market is running out off steam. If we look at the chart we can get a | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
look at what has been happening. It was over 50,000 for a long time. | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Peak at 65,000 in 2013 and has declined ever since. But the pace of | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
recovery has definitely been slowing down. That is, again, illustrated in | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
the figures today. What other chances that the figure | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
could rise again? These are only small rises, it is | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
only data from two months so we should not read much into the right | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
way but there are some factors which suggest unemployment could start to | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
go up, one thing is that the redundancies we have seen announced | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
in the last few months do not show up in the figures yet, those people | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
have not yet left their jobs in many cases and we can expect more | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
redundancies in the public sector. One that race is we could expect | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
unemployment to go up again throughout this year. -- on that | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
basis. The detective who was in charge | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
of the police investigation into the disappearance | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
of Arlene Arkinson has contradicted part of a statement about the case | :15:32. | :15:32. | |
by Sir Hugh Annesley. The then Chief Constable had said | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
he'd no recollection of a meeting when the go ahead was given | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
for a search of the home of the Castlederg teenager's | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
sister, Kathleen. That was in 1996, two years after | :15:45. | :16:01. | |
her sister was reported missing. This was evidence being given on | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
what would have been Arlene's 37th birthday. He confirmed that Sir Hugh | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
Annesley. Gave permission for the search on the basis of a tip-off | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
from the public. Something that the court was told, he had no memory. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Under cross-examination from the family of Arlene Arkinson he said, | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
no, you had not taken the decision to search the garden and house | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
himself. The barrister told the court there was not a single record | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
of the meeting. Ask about his effort of keeping note Mr Anderson told the | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
inquest he did not destroy anything to do with any of the cases he was | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
involved in. He said he kept notes and sheet of paper and handed them | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
into the incident room. What he did destroy, he said, were journals | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
dealing with his expenses. The inquest also heard evidence | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
concerning any UTV insight programme broadcast in 2005. The consultancy | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
business of Mr Anderson was secretly filmed by the team regarding | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
documents, Mr Anderson told the inquest the programme is edited to | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
ensure the full picture was not given on his behalf. He said was a | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
deliberate attempt to discredit him by train him as corrupt as | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
incompetent. Referring to the TV team he said we spoke freely, | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
casually, and unfortunately, I joined in. He said that the | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
journalist loved him into a false sense of security, which, I fell | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
for, he said. He added there was nothing controversial about the | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
documents which he said had been aired in". The inquest continues. -- | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
heard in open court. The problems around city centre | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
parking in Belfast continue to affect people living | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
in inner city areas. The Holy Land and Markets areas have | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
been highlighted before. Now residents in the lower | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Ravenhill Road are voicing their anger and frustration at cars | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
being parked in their streets. The Department of Regional | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
Development says while it has actively engaged with a number | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
of communities to develop resident parking schemes, | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
a lack of consensus between local stakeholders has so far | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
prevented progress. This large and appeared across the | :18:05. | :18:18. | |
lower at Ravenhill Road overnight. In the full light of day the message | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
was Chris Doak -- large banner -- the message was crystal clear. The | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
lives being made model by city centre workers parking on their | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
streets. Locals say more and more motorists regularly park on the side | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
streets. Then they walk across the Albert Bridge into the city centre | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
to their place of work. It is every day of the week. The | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
only time we get any peace is Saturday and Sunday. And a Friday | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
afternoon. It was normally many of Saturday and Sunday. And a Friday | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
them finish at 1pm, 1:30pm. Then we can get parked at our doors. | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
A bin lorry came down here and confused to make pick-ups because he | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
could not turn there were that many cars. There was one car park for | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
five days outside my own door. -- refused to make pick-ups. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
As a resident, what do you do about this problem? | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
I have been told it is illegal, but I don't care, the is not anything I | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
can do, because I am disabled, I cannot walk, nine my car at the door | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
so I can get into it. Belfast City Council say that whilst | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
the Department of regional development had responsibility, the | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
council, along with statutory partners, hope to solve the strategy | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
over the summer, and have already begun work on a new local | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
development plan, considering they land use issues, including | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
transportation. The motorist are not breaking any laws by parking in | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
these inner-city streets. But that does not resolve the issue which | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
local residents feel they have been left to deal with. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
A verse from the bible has been included in a Belfast mural | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
which supports the UK leaving the European Union in | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Will Leitch has been gauging reaction to the use of the biblical | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
It went up to the -- to simple message. It looks like a | :20:17. | :20:38. | |
fairly typical mural encouraging the UK exit. And it could be viable. | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
And I heard a message, you are not partakers of our sins, he receive | :20:47. | :20:47. | |
not our plague... | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
It turns out that quote has been used many times for that governments | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
over the years. The term that we would use is of | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
text in. If you want to give something | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
text in. If you want to give authority, find a verse to go with | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
it. It has been used of Rome, in its original setting, in Revelations, it | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
has been used by the Roman Catholic Church, | :21:17. | :21:16. | |

Pretoria in South Africa, of the German government, between the wars, | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
and of course in our own province, it has been used quite regularly. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
For some Protestants the relationship with the European | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
project has always been fraught with suspicion. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Remember after the fall of commoners, John Paul II, now a | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
saint, spent his time going around Europe encouraging countries to join | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
the European Union, so they would not be | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
the European Union, so they would not to say that it is an exclusively | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Catholic project. -- after the fall of communism. It is in the hope that | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
people have their Bibles at hand to look up exactly what the quotation | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
is, because I, for one, perhaps confirming the worst suspicions of | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
Protestants about Catholics, I had to look up the reference, and I | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
suspect I would not be in the minority. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
With months to go to the referendum, still plenty of time for inspired | :22:18. | :22:18. | |
debate. Next we go to a film set | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
not so far, far away. Filming for the latest instalment | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
in the Star Wars series is expected Some local people have been asked | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
to sign confidentiality agreements. Others say production crews | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
are already on location at Malin Our reporter Teresa Craig has | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
been to investigate. It is one of the biggest franchises | :22:36. | :22:51. | |
in Hollywood. For months the rumour mill in Donegal has been an | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
hyperdrive. Filming for Star Wars, episode eight, is to begin since. | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
And it is all rather hush-hush at the moment. You are not giving much | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
away. Well, I don't know much about it. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
And what I do now, they have as he took quite about. In fact, | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
confidentiality... It is the increase of trucks and | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
action here, marking the most northerly point of Ireland, that | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
could indicate Hollywood has moved in. There have been no sightings yet | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
of Luke skywalker, Chewbacca, or the millennium Falcon. We have been told | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
that preparations are already under way just over the hill for filming | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
in the next few weeks in what some locals are describing is the worst | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
kept secret in Ireland. It is not the case of maybe, they | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
are here. Several lorries. We are at the start. The start getting ready | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
for Star Wars. A number of guest houses and rental | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
homes have already been booked out and there are hopes the Hollywood | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
blockbuster could put the area on the map. | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
This will make a massive difference to the tourists that come to the | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
north-west. It will be bigger than people can imagine. | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
It has often been said that Star Wars was one of the greatest psychos | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
in cinema history. There is anticipation that some of the | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
intergalactic action is coming to a shore here very soon. -- one of the | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
greatest sagas. A beautiful part of the world for | :24:37. | :24:37. | |
movie-making. Crusaders football club | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
are history makers - they're also the winners of this | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
year's Danske Bank Premiership title It was expected and now it is | :24:44. | :24:56. | |
official. Crusaders are winners of back-to-back league titles for the | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
first time and will be presented with this following the match at | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
home to Coleraine on Saturday. The 3-1 win last night prompted scenes | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
of celebration. Crusaders are the champions yet | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
again. Act to back titles. And this is what it meant to the | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
players. They hop, skip, and danced, and an unprecedented night, an | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
unprecedented step of the club. And evidently, one jointly for the | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
manager. The champagne may officially be on ice until Saturday | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
but this was Stephen Baxter on court. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
We will have a big party on Saturday. Enjoy the moment. Taking | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
the atmosphere. And listen, this is for all the people here. That is | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
what this football club is about. A small club, doing well. They secured | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
the title in some style, defeating Cliftonville 3-1. | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
the title in some style, defeating He is in behind the defence, is he | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
going to get another? Yes, he is! Puts the goalkeeper on his backside. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
To do it two years in a row is extra special. We deserve it fully from | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
the players, staff, and the supporters, who have been amazing | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
all season. It is a job well done. Unbelievable. Emotions are at a | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
high. Speechless. I have wanted to do this since I was a boy and it is | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
absolutely fantastic. Now, for three in a row. | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
In the wake of Celtic announcing that current boss Ronny Deila | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
would be leaving at the end of the season, Neil Lennon has | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
confirmed he'd be interested in re-taking the managerial reigns. | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
The former Northern Ireland captain guided Celtic to three Premiership | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
titles and two Scottish Cups before he left in 2014 to be | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
I am not promoting myself for the job, I will leave that to the powers | :26:48. | :27:00. | |
that be. If I get the opportunity to speak to Celtic, I will. | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
The world well-publicised difficulties for you in Glasgow, it | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
did not chew off? I thoroughly enjoyed my four years. | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
-- it did not put you off? I think I am better off my | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
experience of both clubs. That has been five and a half years as a | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
manager now and I know what I am walking into now, if I to the board. | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
-- if I were to speak to the board. Mark Allen has had a comfortable win | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
over rookie Mitchell Mann at snooker's World Championship in | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
Sheffield. The Antrim man who won by ten frames | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
to three was pleased And Mark will be back | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
in second round action I put him under pressure and that is | :27:47. | :28:01. | |
the way it went, but it is the way it goes at the Crucible, I was able | :28:02. | :28:03. | |
to capitalise. another day out of it, at least one, | :28:04. | :28:28. | |
but not as warm as today. Up to 17 Celsius. The satellite picture, | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
virtually cloudless across much of Britain and Ireland. This is what it | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
looked like across the whole of Northern Ireland today, plenty of | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
blue sky and sunshine. That is how we ended the day. Lovely sunsets, I | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
imagine. Overnight, staying dry with clear spells. Not quite as cold as | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
it was last night but surely nevertheless. -- chilly. Rural | :28:55. | :29:04. | |
spots, freezing, possibly below, we expect Frost again. Tomorrow, | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
another dry day, and yes, sunshine. Some mist and fog first thing as was | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
the case this morning but it will soon clear out of the way and we | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
will get a lovely, crisp start. A good chance of high cloud at times, | :29:19. | :29:24. | |
the sunshine may become hazy. It will feel fresh round of the coast. | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
12 Celsius. As today. But still warm enough. Another chilly night to come | :29:30. | :29:39. | |
tomorrow night, Friday, a cold day. Maybe one or two showers. Still some | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
dry and bright weather an offer. The cold weather stays with us into the | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
weekend. Still dry weather then also. | :29:49. | :29:52. |
